ABoom In Parrots.

III tNNttE'tN
That chattering genius Of the bird tribe
vulgarly known as the poll-psrrot is Great
ing something of a financial sensation
among fanciers who find more customers
than parrots, but who are timid about
holding their prizes at such prices as now
prevail, for fear that q West Indian or
South American fleet may at any moment
oyerstock the market. Sure enough
there's a boom in parrots" said a Ninth
street dealer, land we are getting high
prices for the birds on hand, especially for
Brazilian pets that can talk. The other
day we sold a bird for $50, and W. hold
this one in the cage here pointing to a fine
specimen on a perch near by OF Sl2o.
"These ar unusual figures, them"
ooh, yes. We sold the $50 parrot
partly on its merit and partly because it
bore a strong resemblance to the recently
deceased pet of an old lady on Spring Gar
den street, who was as fond of her bird as
though il had been her daughter. But it
was a bright parrot, could whistle like a
flute, and knew halt a dozen such tunes as
Comm Thro' the Rye Yankee Doodle
Over the Fence is Out and The Old
Mans Drunk Again The latter tune it
learned from its last mistress, along with
sundry profane expressions, which cut
down its value at least $50. AparrOt that
would spit out half a dozen tunes without
a cuss word, say Good night and Good
morning at the proper times, and would
not fight with the house cat, would, IN
the present condition of the market, fetch
$3.50"
rs the parrot market cornered?"
ooh, no. That was tried once, end q
New York firm bought up all the talking
parrots in the country quietly, at fair
prices, ard waited for q big rise. Just as
the corner was about to succeed two yes
sells sailed into New York harbor with sew
ersl hundred birds on board, and the pool
was broken, the syndicate losing over
500, 600 on the deal.
"But that is not so queer as the bad luck
of q captain who brought owe? a hundred
or more parrots in 1884. He left Rio
about two months before the Presidential
election. The captain was cock SURE Of
Blaine's election, and thought that he
would make a spec by teaching the birds
to say: 'Hurrah for Blaine The sailors
were busy during the entire voyage in
structipg the birds in this single sentence.
When the vessel arrived Cleveland had
been elected, and the parrots were a dead
loss. The captain didn't get enough for
them to pay first cost"
"What are prevailing prices now"
"Well, Cuban parrots sell from S. to SIS
and Brazilian parrots from $50 to Sl25.
These are double the prices which have
been prevailing. The result is due to a
limited supply and a brisk demand. Par
rots are great pets, and an old lady The
ether day bought an old parrot from us for
$40 which we had abOut made mp our
minds to give away, just because the bird
looked like one which she had owned for
years, and which bad just died"

How to Smoke Under Water.

A Snowman describing the trick ofsmok-
ing a cigar under water, Gays it is done as
follows: "Just az l throw myself back
ward to go down, l would flip the cigar end
for end with my tongue and upper lip and
get the lighted end in my mouth, closing
my lips watettight around it. A little
slippery elm juice gargled before going in
prevents any accidental burning of the
mouth. Going slowly down backward, !
would lie at full length on the bottom OF
The tank and blow smoke through the cut
end of the cigar. Just rs l reached the
surface again another flip reversed the
cigar, and there l WAS smoking calmly.
The reversing is done so quickly that no.
